Walk Thus Way

I (Niki) read this recently and it stopped me in my tracks (pun intended)
The author went on to say that we are either being “formed” by God or by the world. Full stop.
So how does it work exactly? This idea of “spiritual formation” sounds a bit like we are speaking in what Rachel calls “christianese”.
We wanted to simplify it for ourselves. Strip away the confusing, the unnecessary and the burdensome and get to the “essence” of what Walking with Jesus is really all about.
As of last week we are about half way through our first batch of podcasts (we are calling it “season 1” because we are fancy and that sounds official 😂)
As we have been working, something unexpected and fun happened. We ended up with a surprise bonus project that just sort of “formed” out of the work we were doing. Funny how that works. So now we are doubly excited. We have twins! 👯‍♀️
Our hope is that Walk thus Way will be a true ministry.
But really we created Walk thus way because we just decided that we wanted to try something different and wanted some companions along the way.
We are pretty excited about it (have we said that yet? Lol.) and even though we are holding much of it close and private for a bit longer before we reveal it, we would love for you to start praying over whether your heart is responding even just to the idea of a “different way”
You don’t have to wait to get started because remember….
ALL OF LIFE IS SPIRITUAL FORMATION.
Start today by just telling God your desire to learn how to walk with him. That’s it. And then watch and see what he does with that simple prayer.
So very much more to come on all of this in the upcoming months. Get excited guys. This is going to be so good!!

Lessons from vacation: you can’t always control your time. Sometimes, you end up in an out-of-state hospital thankful that the baby isn’t born early, then Voxer-brainstorming with your podcast buddy from a hike, feeling grateful the podcast wasn’t released at the date we originally planned, before God gave Niki some really beautiful visions of what this project should be.

Last year, when Niki had the idea for us to create the Walk Thus Way podcast, she repeatedly used the image of childbirth. “I keep feeling like God wants us to birth something with this podcast.”

When I turned up unexpectedly pregnant a couple of months later, we could only laugh.

Good things will be born in time, friends. For those of you waiting on your own good things, know God uses the waiting to develop lungs and perspective, maturity and gratitude.

I’m excited to see all that will be born in good time… but I can certainly wait a couple more months. 😉

All we wanted for Christmas was a podcast microphone, & it came! 🎄🎉 What podcasts should we be listening to if we want to learn from the best? Especially (but not exclusively) podcasts with a conversational format… we’d love your advice!
